Vice President Osinbajo Leads Investment Roadshow in the US

Nigeria's Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has led a high-level investment roadshow in the United States, aimed at attracting foreign investment to the country. The roadshow, which took place from March 14 to 16, 2023, was organized by the Nigerian government in collaboration with the US-Nigeria Binational Commission.

The roadshow, which was attended by top business leaders, investors, and government officials from both countries, focused on showcasing Nigeria's investment opportunities in key sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing. The event was held in major cities including New York, Boston, and Washington D.C.

During the roadshow, Vice President Osinbajo met with top US business leaders, including CEOs of major companies such as General Electric, ExxonMobil, and Chevron, to discuss investment opportunities in Nigeria. He also held meetings with US government officials, including the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, and the US Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo.

The Vice President emphasized Nigeria's commitment to creating a business-friendly environment, improving the ease of doing business, and increasing transparency and accountability in the country's investment climate. He also highlighted the country's vast natural resources, growing middle class, and strategic location as key attractions for foreign investors.

The roadshow was seen as a major boost to Nigeria's efforts to attract foreign investment, which has been a major challenge for the country in recent years. The country has been facing a significant decline in foreign investment due to factors such as insecurity, corruption, and regulatory challenges.

The Nigerian government has been working to address these challenges and improve the country's investment climate. The roadshow was seen as a key step in this direction, providing a platform for the country to showcase its investment opportunities and attract foreign investors.

In a statement, the Nigerian government said that the roadshow was a major success, with several investment deals and partnerships signed between Nigerian and US companies. The government also announced plans to establish a US-Nigeria Investment Council to facilitate investment flows between the two countries.

Overall, the roadshow was seen as a significant step forward in Nigeria's efforts to attract foreign investment and promote economic growth and development.
